Summary

Introduction Operative duration is an important but under-studied predictor of mortality in emergency laparotomies.

Aims \& Objectives The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of duration of emergency laparotomy in children on mortality and to identify a rough cut-off duration of laparotomy to serve as a guide to plan the laparotomy to optimize pediatric surgical patient outcome.
